Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during my appointment?
During the appointment, you may be required to have an investigation such as a blood test or a biopsy. This may take place on the same day or you may need to come back another time. If you need to have a follow-up appointment, then this will be offered at a time that is convenient to you.
If you need medication or a dermatological cream, a medication request will be sent to your GP and you will contact your GP to obtain the relevant prescription.
How long will my appointment take?
Appointment times will vary, however, most first and follow up appointments will usually take 15 minutes and minor surgery 30 minutes.
How do I cancel or change my appointment?
If you cannot make the appointment, please contact us as soon as you can. This will enable us to use the time to arrange an appointment for someone else.
Can I bring someone with me?
You are welcome to bring someone with you to your appointment. Sometimes our staff may also request to have someone present for an appointment. If you or the member of staff is uncomfortable with the person, we’ll reschedule to a later date when the correct person is available.
